NECESSITY OF THEM "PRESSED UPON BOARD BY TRUSTEE MEEK, Whose Resolution Was Evening Classes for Boys and Girls Between Fourteén amd Six. teen Years Likely to be Opened. "That the Management commitiee be requesied to take into its respect ful consideration, the [oliow ing sub. jects, and report upon them at the earliest convenience, by pext meeting jof the board, if possible. I *"{1} The Opening of day and even- ing industrial classes in accordance with the school act, which enables the hoard to enforce the attendance of boys and givlé between the ages of fourteen and, sisteen at these classes, after the necessary steps have been taken.

The manual training classes represented at pres ent, a most clemeutary and Ki igston, an educational centve, hould take up technical training in an advanced apd effective way." the above 'resolution was passed by the Board of Education, at its meet ing, on Thursday night, on motion of Trustee Mock, and if the plan as set oul Ir Meek is carried into efiect, it will mean a great deal to a large number of boys and girls, who, at the present time, aré not re eeiving the education they should re ceive, to fit them out for the battl of life. The action of the Manage ment | committee on this important tsefie, will be awaited with keen in terest. Trustee Meck has given the question considerable attention, and was able to provide the trustees with a great deal of information regarding the working out of the classes in oth er places, and while there was no general discussion on the question, it was apparent that the members pres ent felt that the innovation would prove a beneficial one, In brief, if tho . scheme, ns mapped out, is carried into effect, the com- pulsory school age in Kingston will be "raised from fourteen sixteen years. It will not be necessary for all boys and girls between those ages, who are employed, to leave their work, but they will be compelled to attend classes either at the day or night industrial school, in' accordance with the school act. Adopted work, by stew to Department to Blame. In taking up the question, Truatec Meek stated that the department of education, usider both governments, had been to blame in not providing necessary school legislation, and even ft the present time the d partment Was to blame, in that it had not called the attention of the Ideal | board of education to the recent act passed regarding the compulsory at tendance of boys and girls at indus- trial classes. In the case of recent legislation regarding grants to char- ity organizations, the government had aiso been found to be negli- gent. "The government needs a public ity department," added Trustee Meek. Ha said there were acts be- ing put through that no community could keep track of, . The speaker, however, knew of the School act he had referred to, and wont on to explain to the member how it could be worked out. Now that the government had given the necessary legislation, it was up t the board to act. "This new act had to do with boys and girls who leave school at four teen years of age to seek employ ment. The majority of them secure: employments that are non-educative, with the result that they spend their time until twenty-one years of age in such work, and then they are un fitted to assume their position in lifs. This was a most lamentable state of affairs, and in this new legisiation the government was trying: to over- come the difficulty. There were two sides to the system. Would it be wise to compel them to go to the day classes? It would be a bard- ship on some who were bread -win- uers of a family.

Bome valuable information regard- ing the classes at Siratiord organized | by the collegiate institute board, and at Montreal, at the technical institute, were given by Trustee Meek, along with other information, ail of which told a story of the great success of the work, At Stratiord, the total attendance for October was 1.400, or one hall of the total attenddgnce of all the classes ast season, 'The classes mm eookery and dressmaking are very large, while those in mathematics, drawing and science, are also well patronized, giving evidence of the strong feeling. among young people, for this kind of edueation, At Montreal the classes are meeting with remarkable success, while it is aduiitted that the tield has so far but touched the fring.

Different phases were discussed, but the question of negotiating with the company for the purchase of the road was brought forward and urged by Ald. Ross. He and other aldermen Intimated that they had been approached by citi zens, who were not in favor of build ing the now roadbed at a very con siderable expense, even though, ae cording to the agreement of the cit with the company at the tims it was given a franchise, it, was incumbant | upon the city to do 30, while they {the citizens) were favorable to par ingst pet a of the sulject! fehasing the road from the compan) at this timo.
